2014-12-10take the targets of /proc/*/ns/* symlinks to separate fsAl Viro10-161/+208
New pseudo-filesystem: nsfs. Targets of /proc/*/ns/* live there now. It's not mountable (not even registered, so it's not in /proc/filesystems, etc.). Files on it *are* bindable - we explicitly permit that in do_loopback(). This stuff lives in fs/nsfs.c now; proc_ns_fget() moved there as well. get_proc_ns() is a macro now (it's simply returning ->i_private; would have been an inline, if not for header ordering headache). proc_ns_inode() is an ex-parrot. The interface used in procfs is ns_get_path(path, task, ops) and ns_get_name(buf, size, task, ops). Dentries and inodes are never hashed; a non-counting reference to dentry is stashed in ns_common (removed by ->d_prune()) and reused by ns_get_path() if present. See ns_get_path()/ns_prune_dentry/nsfs_evict() for details of that mechanism. As the result, proc_ns_follow_link() has stopped poking in nd->path.mnt; it does nd_jump_link() on a consistent <vfsmount,dentry> pair it gets from ns_get_path().

2014-11-23sched: Provide update_curr callbacks for stop/idle scheduling classesThomas Gleixner2-0/+10
Chris bisected a NULL pointer deference in task_sched_runtime() to commit 6e998916dfe3 'sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency'. Chris observed crashes in atop or other /proc walking programs when he started fork bombs on his machine. He assumed that this is a new exit race, but that does not make any sense when looking at that commit. What's interesting is that, the commit provides update_curr callbacks for all scheduling classes except stop_task and idle_task. While nothing can ever hit that via the clock_nanosleep() and clock_gettime() interfaces, which have been the target of the commit in question, the author obviously forgot that there are other code paths which invoke task_sched_runtime() do_task_stat(() thread_group_cputime_adjusted() thread_group_cputime() task_cputime() task_sched_runtime() if (task_current(rq, p) && task_on_rq_queued(p)) { update_rq_clock(rq); up->sched_class->update_curr(rq); } If the stats are read for a stomp machine task, aka 'migration/N' and that task is current on its cpu, this will happily call the NULL pointer of stop_task->update_curr. Ooops. Chris observation that this happens faster when he runs the fork bomb makes sense as the fork bomb will kick migration threads more often so the probability to hit the issue will increase. Add the missing update_curr callbacks to the scheduler classes stop_task and idle_task. While idle tasks cannot be monitored via /proc we have other means to hit the idle case.

2014-11-23x86_64, traps: Rework bad_iretAndy Lutomirski2-26/+48
It's possible for iretq to userspace to fail. This can happen because of a bad CS, SS, or RIP. Historically, we've handled it by fixing up an exception from iretq to land at bad_iret, which pretends that the failed iret frame was really the hardware part of #GP(0) from userspace. To make this work, there's an extra fixup to fudge the gs base into a usable state. This is suboptimal because it loses the original exception. It's also buggy because there's no guarantee that we were on the kernel stack to begin with. For example, if the failing iret happened on return from an NMI, then we'll end up executing general_protection on the NMI stack. This is bad for several reasons, the most immediate of which is that general_protection, as a non-paranoid idtentry, will try to deliver signals and/or schedule from the wrong stack. This patch throws out bad_iret entirely. As a replacement, it augments the existing swapgs fudge into a full-blown iret fixup, mostly written in C. It's should be clearer and more correct.

2014-11-23x86_64, traps: Stop using IST for #SSAndy Lutomirski6-26/+8
On a 32-bit kernel, this has no effect, since there are no IST stacks. On a 64-bit kernel, #SS can only happen in user code, on a failed iret to user space, a canonical violation on access via RSP or RBP, or a genuine stack segment violation in 32-bit kernel code. The first two cases don't need IST, and the latter two cases are unlikely fatal bugs, and promoting them to double faults would be fine. This fixes a bug in which the espfix64 code mishandles a stack segment violation. This saves 4k of memory per CPU and a tiny bit of code.

2014-11-23percpu-ref: fix DEAD flag contamination of percpu pointerTejun Heo1-1/+7
While decoupling ATOMIC and DEAD flags, f47ad4578461 ("percpu_ref: decouple switching to percpu mode and reinit") updated __ref_is_percpu() so that it only tests ATOMIC flag to determine whether the ref is in percpu mode or not; however, while DEAD implies ATOMIC, the two flags are set separately during percpu_ref_kill() and if __ref_is_percpu() races percpu_ref_kill(), it may see DEAD w/o ATOMIC. Because __ref_is_percpu() returns @ref->percpu_count_ptr value verbatim as the percpu pointer after testing ATOMIC, the pointer may now be contaminated with the DEAD flag. This can be fixed by clearing the flag bits before returning the pointer which was the fix proposed by Shaohua; however, as DEAD implies ATOMIC, we can just test for both flags at once and avoid the explicit masking. Update __ref_is_percpu() so that it tests that both ATOMIC and DEAD are clear before returning @ref->percpu_count_ptr as the percpu pointer.

2014-11-21tcp: Restore RFC5961-compliant behavior for SYN packetsCalvin Owens1-2/+2
Commit c3ae62af8e755 ("tcp: should drop incoming frames without ACK flag set") was created to mitigate a security vulnerability in which a local attacker is able to inject data into locally-opened sockets by using TCP protocol statistics in procfs to quickly find the correct sequence number. This broke the RFC5961 requirement to send a challenge ACK in response to spurious RST packets, which was subsequently fixed by commit 7b514a886ba50 ("tcp: accept RST without ACK flag"). Unfortunately, the RFC5961 requirement that spurious SYN packets be handled in a similar manner remains broken. RFC5961 section 4 states that: ... the handling of the SYN in the synchronized state SHOULD be performed as follows: 1) If the SYN bit is set, irrespective of the sequence number, TCP MUST send an ACK (also referred to as challenge ACK) to the remote peer: <SEQ=SND.NXT><ACK=RCV.NXT><CTL=ACK> After sending the acknowledgment, TCP MUST drop the unacceptable segment and stop processing further. By sending an ACK, the remote peer is challenged to confirm the loss of the previous connection and the request to start a new connection. A legitimate peer, after restart, would not have a TCB in the synchronized state. Thus, when the ACK arrives, the peer should send a RST segment back with the sequence number derived from the ACK field that caused the RST. This RST will confirm that the remote peer has indeed closed the previous connection. Upon receipt of a valid RST, the local TCP endpoint MUST terminate its connection. The local TCP endpoint should then rely on SYN retransmission from the remote end to re-establish the connection. This patch lets SYN packets through the discard added in c3ae62af8e755, so that spurious SYN packets are properly dealt with as per the RFC. The challenge ACK is sent unconditionally and is rate-limited, so the original vulnerability is not reintroduced by this patch.

2014-11-20ipx: fix locking regression in ipx_sendmsg and ipx_recvmsgJiri Bohac1-1/+5
This fixes an old regression introduced by commit b0d0d915 (ipx: remove the BKL). When a recvmsg syscall blocks waiting for new data, no data can be sent on the same socket with sendmsg because ipx_recvmsg() sleeps with the socket locked. This breaks mars-nwe (NetWare emulator): - the ncpserv process reads the request using recvmsg - ncpserv forks and spawns nwconn - ncpserv calls a (blocking) recvmsg and waits for new requests - nwconn deadlocks in sendmsg on the same socket Commit b0d0d915 has simply replaced BKL locking with lock_sock/release_sock. Unlike now, BKL got unlocked while sleeping, so a blocking recvmsg did not block a concurrent sendmsg. Only keep the socket locked while actually working with the socket data and release it prior to calling skb_recv_datagram().

Xattr operations can race with copy up. This does not matter as long as we consistently fiter out "trunsted.overlay.opaque" attribute on upper directories. Previously we checked parent against OVL_PATH_MERGE. This is too general, and prone to race with copy-up. I.e. we found the parent to be on the lower layer but ovl_dentry_real() would return the copied-up dentry, possibly with the "opaque" attribute.
